Rocky Mountain Diabetes Center was founded in the early 1980s by Dr. John Liljenquist. Since that time, the center has grown to be the home of several providers.
We specialize in internal medicine and its sub-specialty endocrinology, which deals with disorders of the endocrine system. The endocrine system is a complex system of hormone-secreting glands.
These hormones are substances help control your body’s activities, such as metabolism, reproduction, growth, and development. They also help to provide the proper amount of energy and nutrition the body needs to function.
The typical conditions that are evaluated and treated by Rocky Mountain Diabetes Center include:
